"Taking into consideration local and national experiences with ice rinks and frozen attractions, we are working with a supplier who has a proven track record of success in delivering frozen attractions in all weather conditions.

"Through industry contacts and local partnerships, due diligence has been undertaken to ensure the issues experienced with the ice rink in 2015 are not repeated and we believe we have a winning combination for an exciting Christmas attraction for Colchester.”

The slide itself will be in Castle Park from December 1 until January 2, with tickets available to purchase today (Friday, November 3). The tickets are valid for 25 minutes, and allow you to take an unlimited number of rides.
